Weather in August
Temperature
Leeds experiences an average high-temperature of a still tropical 89.2°F (31.8°C) with the onset of August, subtly varied from July's 90.5°F (32.5°C). In August, Leeds's temperature tends to fall to an average low of 69.8°F (21°C) during the night.Heat index
The heat index value for August is evaluated at a blistering 105.8°F (41°C). Ensure additional precautions, heat exhaustion and heat cramps may be expected. Heatstroke could occur from sustained activity.Factoring in the heat index, values are geared towards shaded areas with light breezes. A rise of up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the heat index could result from direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', ties air temperature with relative humidity to produce the perceived temperature sensation. Additional factors encompassing metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and clothing can impact the individual's perception of temperature. Be aware that direct exposure to sunlight increases heat impact and may raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Kids are generally in more danger than adults because they perspire less. Their large skin surface area compared to their small bodies and the excessive heat due to their actions raises their risk.
To offset high temperatures, the human body releases sweat which, upon evaporation, cools it down. An increase in relative humidity retards evaporation, subsequently reducing the body's heat removal rate and leading to a sensation of being overly warm. If heat absorption isn't effectively countered by the body's cooling methods, body temperature surges, hinting at potential problems.
